Marlin 39 Most Likely 1st Year’s Production 1922

Description:
This is an extremely early & rare Marlin model 39 produced 1922-23. Perhaps out of the first 1922 production run, Beautiful original example of a 4 digit serial numbered 39’ with all the appropriate hallmarks of the earliest models known: black dot in the bullseye on the under belly of the stock, no-prefix 4 digit SN 4xxx, brass bead front sight, hex barrel, take down feature. The Marlin model 39 was introduced in 1922 and originally did not carry a prefix. The S prefix likely was first used in the 1925-26 era, based on serial number ranges for the non and S prefixed rifles. The HS prefix was used beginning in 1932, until the introduction of model 39A in 1939. Use only standard or target velocity ammunition in these old model 39’s! You will crack the bolt with high-speed ammunition. The bolt change in 1932 allowed high speed ammunition to be used, hence the "HS" serial code designation. A recent Gun listing had one comparable to this missing two tang screws where someone took the sight off. Sling ring on for-end cap but none on buttstock that I can see.
